Nuxt.js is a framework for creating Vue.js applications, you can choose between Universal, Static Generated or Single Page application (inspired by Next.js)
As a framework, Nuxt.js comes with a lot of features to help you in your development between the client side and the server side such as Asynchronous Data, Middleware, Layouts, etc.
Nuxt.js includes the following to create a rich web application development:
- vuejs2, vuejs3
- vue-router
- vuex
- Vue Server Renderer
- vue-meta
One of the main benefits is an easy to setup Server Side Rendering which improves Page performance and Search Engine Optimization.
Instead of rendering the content in the client Nuxt (Universal Mode) will send a Server Rendered File which reduces the load time and is way better for Search Engine Crawlers to detect.
Nuxt Generate provides a powerful tool to prerender pages but you can also use the SPA Mode, or in Static mode (generate static html files).
